Maurai And Kith

Where there was one collection, Maurai And Kith, there should now be two boxed sets:

MAURAI
Maurai
Orion Shall Rise
There Will Be Time
 
KITH
Kith 
Starfarers
 
 
There Will Be Time is about time travel. Starfarers involves inter-temporal communication.
 
MAURAI is one future history. KITH is two.

I must attend a zoom meeting on the US election.

Kaor, Paul!

In any COMPLETE COLLECTED WORKS OF POUL ANDERSON I would argue for placing the three Maurai short storied in a volume containing THERE WILL BE TIME, with ORION SHALL RISE as the second volume.

The two Kith stories (including the original version of "Ghetto") should form another volume with STARFARERS (which incorporates a revised version of "Ghetto").

Compared to the gov't of the UK, I would not be surprised if the US political system strikes you as arcane and Byzantinely complex!

E.g., the XII Amendment of the US Constitution regulates how a presidential election ending in an electoral college tie is to be handled.

Ad astra! Sean
